Isight camera not functioning

Same Problem Here!

Did clean install of Mountain Lion on 2009 MBP. Any app associated with iSight will not open. Facetime and Photobooth both show rainbow lines after 5 seconds. Brought to Apple Store, and they said it was software related. They did another clean install which worked fine in store but when I got home, the problem came back

 

It's a Facetime Camera now not iSight. Look at your specifications

 

Try clean install once and if it doesnt fix it go to Apple.
It may be the camera itself.

 

Doesn't matter what they call it, the problem lays in the fact that it is broken. Anyways, take it to Apple.

 

2012 13" MBA Has Same Problem

I had the same problem with my 2012 13" MBA. I noticed it after upgrading to Mountain Lion a few days ago. I took a couple of pictures for evidence, then I restarted and the camera worked.

I'm a little concerned that it's going to be a reoccurring issue. At this point with it working, is there any reason to go to a genius bar or contact Apple?
